Ridley Scott Explains Why PROMETHEUS 2 Is Now an ALIEN Movie
Yesterday director Ridley Scott revealed that the official title for his Prometheus sequel is Alien: Paradise Lost. I believe this was done as a way to rebrand the franchise to get Alien fans back on board because not many people really cared for Prometheus.
During an interview with Hey U Guys, Scott went a little further with his explanation as to why the sequel is now Alien themed. You might be happy to know that this next film will be closely tied to his 1979 sci-fi horror classic. He says:
"Well, because we're heading back to why and how and when the beast was invented. We'll go back into the back door of the very first Alien that I did thirty years ago."
It's kind of cool to know that this next film will actually serve as a link to the original Alien movie. I'm feeling a little more excited about this movie. Hopefully it has a better script and smarter characters this time around.
